Pretty much sums up what happened to me until you guys came into my life. Rest assured this poem posting will not be occuring on a regular basis...it is just that I have this distinct flair for melodrama which I am attempting to tamper down. 05A02 was the best thing that happened to me. I was pulled out of my shell when I stepped into NJC, and you people are responsible for that. Like I told Karen, our class is like one glorious tapestry depicting a marvelous scene of light, of beauty and of hope, each creative individual is represented by different coloured threads, interwoven into each other in harmonious accordance, just as our lives are entwined with each others. Thank you 05a02 and the ogls for being who you are. ~Rhoda
Pain assuaged
Spirit renewed
Flame burns anew
Withered no more
I was revived
Brought from the very depths
Of depression and nothingness
I had been restrained
I had been bound
The tears I wept were in vain
The hope I long sought for
Vanished like water into the dust
The light I desired was swallowed
As the darkness of the night
Enveloped the sunset
But when the light I once beheld came
My head lifted with hope
My eyes lit with joy
A sweet song burst forth
And I lived again
